The commander of Jin State, Li Lisong, flew to the imperial capital of Jin State, Lequan City in one breath.

Looking at the extremely majestic and enchanting palace in front of him, Li Lisong was afraid to take a step. After his defeat, he was defeated, and was defeated by the broken Xia Kingdom that everyone looked down upon. The 300,000 army headed north and returned alone - not only was it defeated, but it seemed to be a deserter.

Li Lisong stood at the door, but the guards on both sides of the palace knew Li Lisong. A guard team leader "ignore" Li Lisong's embarrassment, but just kindly reminded: "Master, Your Majesty has been in the Imperial Garden these days."

"Imperial Gardens Obey the Government?" Li Lisong was stunned, not knowing what this meant.

The guard team leader sighed and said, "It's not that Anyang has made trouble. Five iron-clad ships appeared on the east coast of our Jin State, bombarding military fortresses such as Baize Town and Dongguan Town, which have caused tens of thousands of casualties."

When Li Lisong heard this, he no longer had any hesitation and rushed into the palace. After several inspections, he met His Majesty the Emperor of Jin in the Imperial Garden.

His Majesty the Emperor's face was not very good; Li Lisong's face was not very good either.

"Are you defeated?" The first sentence of the emperor of Jin was these three words.

Li Lisong knelt down with a thud: "The 300,000 army is all mourned, and I will ask you to surrender."

The emperor of Jin looked up at the sky with clouds rolling and clouds spreading, sighed in a low voice several times, and finally ordered the guards around him, "Invite all ministers, generals, etc. to come to discuss politics."

Li Lisong knelt on the ground without looking up; His Majesty the Emperor stood like a sculpture; only the beautiful and bright birds in the imperial garden were jubilant, and these ordinary birds and beasts enjoyed the tranquility and abundance of the imperial garden; several birds even had the bloodline of monsters, which were smart and gorgeous.

Soon, all the officials of Jin State gathered together. After seeing Li Lisong kneeling on the ground, wearing a mess, and even had dried blood on his clothes, they suddenly understood what was going on. Everyone did not speak, but just quietly lined up on the left and right sides of the emperor, surrounding Li Lisong in the center.

When all the officials arrived, the emperor of Jin looked at Li Lisong, "Li Lisong, you will tell you everything, from leading the troops to returning, and say it word for word."

Li Lisong began to state that he was worthy of being the commander, and he actually told the whole process exactly until the end of igniting the beacon and conveying information. He only lacked the novelist's rhetoric and ups and downs, making the story a little dull; but the officials around him could feel the tragedy of the battlefield from this peaceful telling.

The planes that are bombing continuously cannons cannons of ten miles, and tens of thousands of fully armed foundation-building masters in Anyang; machine guns that can kill 200,000 in half a day, and machine guns that are as fragile as fruits in the foundation-building period...

Listening to Li Lisong's statement, everyone was silent. More than 200,000 were killed or injured in half a day, and 30,000 people were killed in one charge. Such a tragic war situation completely exceeded everyone's expectations. In the end, Nanyang County and Dongyuan County stood by and even finally rebelled, completely burying the 300,000 army of Jin State.

"Sinner, please give up your crime." After saying that, Li Lisong lay on the ground, his tone choked. The first time the Jin State sent troops to fight a hundred years later, the 300,000 troops failed and fell into the sand.

All the officials around were speechless, waiting for His Majesty to speak.

The emperor of Jin was silent for a long time, "Get up, you are not guilty. Not only are you guilty, but you have made contributions. The one who is wrong is that I did not listen to the advice and was fascinated by greed. Now, it is indeed not the best opportunity to attack the Daxia Kingdom. It is necessary to let the separatist regimes flee internally for a period of time. Attacking the Daxia Kingdom now can only arouse the common hatred of the Daxia Kingdom.

I didn’t expect that I didn’t expect that the power of industry and commerce would be so powerful, and I didn’t expect that the power of machinery would be so terrifying.”

After pondering for a moment, the emperor spoke again: "Li Lisong, you immediately get up and go to the north to support General Zhenwei Chen Zhongping; after you left, General Zhenwei Chen Zhongping had led an army of 500,000 to the north, and should have entered Nanyang County at this moment.

Chen Zhongping is brave in combat, but lacks the ability to adapt to the situation. You can do a favor.

In addition, you will be rewarded with two hundred-year-old purple ginseng plants to supplement consumption."

The guards immediately sent two fresh 100-year-old purple ginseng. The spiritual energy and medicinal power contained in this 100-year-old purple ginseng can well supplement the body's consumption, especially the consumption of true energy.

Speaking of which, no matter how bad Li Lisong is, he is still a master of the Nascent Soul stage. His Majesty the Emperor of Jin cannot bear to blame too much - as long as he doesn't rebel.

As for Li Lisong, he heard that there was such a change, so he didn't care too much. After absorbing the spiritual ginseng, he rushed northward to prepare to support Chen Zhongping. It was inappropriate to support or help, but it should be said to be "fighting the fire". Li Lisong understood without thinking that Chen Zhongping now may have been trapped in hard battles and even surrounded by heavy siege.

As soon as Li Lisong left, the monarch and ministers began to discuss. They charged and killed 30,000 yuan in one charge, and killed 200,000 yuan in half a day. These two numbers greatly impacted everyone.

Suddenly, Cai Chaoyang, the Grand Tutor of one of the three Dukes of Jin, left the list, "Your Majesty, maybe we can take a step back."

"Step a step back?" The Emperor of Jin frowned.

"No!" Zhao Youde, the Grand Marshal of Jin, made a list, "Your Majesty, you cannot give in. If we can't even defeat a small Anyang or a fragmented Daxia, how will others view us? Perhaps Qi in the west and Liu in the south will send troops to attack us.

The best way is to destroy Anyang in one fell swoop and promote the might of our great Jin Dynasty!”

"Your Majesty, take a step back and the sky is vast."

"Your Majesty, you can't retreat. One step back will be a cliff."

...

The ministers immediately started arguing, each with their own reasons.

The military general led by Taiwei Zhao Youde believed that we must never retreat. If we retreat, it means that the Great Jin Dynasty is weak and can be bullied. Then the surrounding Qi State may attack. Taking a step back will indeed make the sky wide, because we retreated to the cliff.

The head of the Grand Master Cai Chaoyang believes that taking a step back opens up the sky, and failure is the mother of success. The failure now is still a good thing.

The quarrels became more and more intense, and each had its own reasons, and no one could convince the other party. In the end, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the Prime Minister Sima Xuan who had not spoken. Sima Xuan went on an envoy to Anyang. After returning, he did not object or agree to the fact that Jin State sent troops to attack Anyang. It should be said that many people agreed to send troops at that time, so Sima Xuan did not speak.

Now, while everyone was discussing, Sima Xuan still didn't speak.

Until now, after seeing His Majesty the Emperor look over, Sima Xuan finally left the list, "Your Majesty, I think, take a step back and open up the sky."

Then, Sima Xuan explained little by little: "There are four points in my considerations.

First, Jin State has always been a great power in the East, from officials to the people, and has a high spirit. This situation is very dangerous. Appropriate failure can make the people re-understand themselves and will be conducive to the reflection of Jin State.

Only failure can eliminate the impetuousness of the present. Only failure can allow a new transformation in Jin State, climb to a higher peak, and welcome the upcoming chaos.

Second, the Great Xia Kingdom is destroyed and the balance of the East is broken; the East of Yingzhou will fall into a chaos that has not been seen in a thousand years. Under such chaos, the overly powerful Jin Kingdom will become the target of public criticism. Therefore, appropriate failure is beneficial to us to hide.

Only by being alone can one protect oneself.

Third, although we failed, our foundation was not damaged. Instead, we saw the strength of industry and commerce, and the future war model and development direction. If we failed, we could see the direction and make the whole country catch up.

As the saying goes: Know your shame and then you will be brave. Today's failure is for a more brilliant victory tomorrow.

Fourth, because of our intervention, the separatist regimes in Daxia shared the same hatred for the enemy. This situation is quite dangerous for us. Only when we take a step back and make those separatist regimes not feel the pressure, their union will naturally be disbanded.

Now that we have suffered continuous losses of soldiers and generals, our defense in northern Jin Dynasty is empty, so we should not fight again."

After Sima Xuan said that, the Grand Marshal Zhao Youde opposed it, "What if Anyang County, Nanyang County and Dongyuan County join forces to invade the northern part of our Great Jin?"

Sima Xuan was calm and calm, "As long as we surrender to Anyang and make compensation, Anyang will naturally withdraw his troops. As long as Anyang retreats, relying solely on Nanyang County and Dongyuan County, will it still dare to invade our great Jin Dynasty?

We are giving in to Anyang, not to Nanyang County and Dongyuan County. Through such a negotiation, we can get rid of the relationship between Nanyang County, Dongyuan County and Anyang County."

What Sima Xuan said makes sense, but not everyone is willing to give in. After the stability of the Great Jin country, it has been one of the great powers in the East, and this situation lasts for thousands of years. The arrogance caused by thousands of years cannot be suppressed by Sima Xuan alone.

Especially for the generals, they did not admit this failure no matter what.

Zhao Youde even roared angrily at the end: "Anyang bombarded my eastern coast of Great Jin, and even caused civilian casualties. Let's just forget about this! Then how do we explain to the people? Do you know how many families are crying!"

This question was a bit harsh. But Sima Xuan was still calm, "Mr. Zhao, as far as I know, the places where Anyang bombed were either military towns, military camps, or city lord's mansion. Although the fire in the city gate would inevitably cause harm to the fish in the pond, there was no bomb directly thrown to the people in Anyang.

Moreover, in the past, many wars on our side have occurred in the massacre of cities; it is really unnecessary to get entangled in this matter."

Everyone still quarreled for a long time; in the evening, the spy lurking in Anyang from Jin State sent back a few newspapers, and the newspapers specially circled some information with a red pen.

Prime Minister Sima Xuan picked up the newspaper and read it loudly: "Fang Shijing, Minister of Commerce and President of Brilliant Star Group, delivered a public speech:

Thanks to the group staff for their hard work day and night, Anyang's industrial technology has made another breakthrough. In the first phase of the supersonic aircraft plan, the subsonic aircraft was successfully tested, with an average flight speed of 830 kilometers per hour...

From Anyang to Lequan City, the imperial capital of Jin Kingdom, only more than 4,000 miles, two thousand kilometers, and you can fly back and forth in up to six hours...

The wise king said that he would throw the bomb into the Jin Palace, which could throw it four times a day..."

After Sima Xuan read this thousand-word declaration, everyone was silent.

Finally, the Grand Tutor Cai Chaoyang spoke, "You can't let Anyang throw the bomb into the palace, otherwise... the royal family will be faceless!"

The emperor of Jin finally made up his mind: "Prime Minister Sima, please send you another envoy to Anyang. In addition, try to... strive for... cooperation!"

The emperor of Jin almost gritted his teeth and said this.

(Everyone says that today three is better or four is better?\(^o^)/~)
